First, we explored both structures in <a href=\"https:\/\/earth.google.com\/web\/\">Google Earth<\/a>.  Google Earth is an amazing tool that not only allows you to view buildings in 3D, but you can actually look around inside them with 360 photos (<em>click the little man icon in the lower right corner, then click on a blue dot near a building<\/em>). As we explored each building, we estimated their perimeters.  Next, we went to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/?hl=en\">My Google Maps<\/a>.  Google Maps has a different set of features that allows you to create and save your own custom maps. We located the Parthenon and the Colosseum and placed a marker on each one using the marker tool. I showed them how to customize the pin by typing information, adding a photo, changing the pin color, and adding an icon. Then we used the shape tool to draw a shape around the perimeter of each building. Shapes can be customized as well, using the paint bucket tool to change their color, border size and transparency. Once the &#8220;Save&#8221; button is clicked, the perimeter and area of the shape can be found in the bottom of the pop-up box. Students compared their earlier estimates with the actual measurements. Finally, we published our maps and shared them on Schoology.
